I am 62; 63 in November. I am a singer/songwriter and have been writing original music since I was 14. I still do. I have made some attempts to get signed but did not. I still do believe there is a chance for me to something great but no label is going to take a chance on an old guy even if my music is excellent. This is the third channel that I have found here that makes sense out of this so I am subscribing. I am taking a chance to re-invent myself once again to see what I can accomplish. Thank you, and all the best to you...♪
Lucy Lotto He gotta go home lmao. But my little brother probably gonna be like Nah, sis, that’s my jam don’t turn that off! It’s all about these kids these days. It’s based on what they like.
@@Zelci Heyy I too wanted to collab with someone who is passionate about music and strives to become an artist, If u are interested we can connect, coz I'm definitely commited to my dream.
Batphink Reynolds lol its so easy for you to say that behind a computer. I really get amazed if it was so easy to do what Keys does then why aren’t you doing it??? Anyway, Why don’t you look up Alicia Keys bio and read just how hard she had to work to be where she is. Her first album was shelved by Columbia Records because she wanted to keep artistic integrity. They wanted her to loose weight and make pop songs but she refused. She ended up writing playing and producing her debut which is damn near unheard of. But she’s so overrated right? All of Dylan songs sound the same too (he loves Keys BTW) and so do the Beatles Bob Marley Sly and The Family Stone Prince Adele Kurt Cobain John Coltrane Rolling Stones Sade Evils Pixes Zeppelin Elliot Smit MJ Winehouse Norah Jones I could go on and on because most successful artist makes music that sounds the same. They find a niche that is mainstream and if they are smart they dominate the lane they do best in. Yes tunnel vision gets you paid. There isn’t any artist like Keys. She stays in her lane and makes millions doing so. She is a household name for some really inspiring music that is not the status quo. She is not your typical pop star. A record executive didnt create her. Her fame was from A LOT of hard work and “tunnel vision”
So basically to be signed as an artist from a label you should do everything but be an artist LOL, makes sense if you consider the type of music that's coming out nowadays.
Excellent information!!! You said it perfectly "labels can get you in front of a much larger audience/opportunities". Record labels have relationships, when artist travel internationally there is a different way shows are done and/or music is sold (ie. some countries dont allow downloads only cd form). In addition, labels can assist with leveraging their relationships with booking agents to assist an artist getting booked internationally. Another thing that you mention is labels want to see how you are working before they get involved, if an artist has a lazy and/or mediocre work ethic before a label gets involved, it is a high possibility that the artists behavior will remain the same and/or get worse. Artist that work hard on their own tend to have a better respect for the process because they are involved in the process. Most importantly, its called the music BUSINESS and it involves ALOT of work! Alot of artist will want to own their own companies some day and they will need to understand the overall operations of their business.
It’s always all about your songs. If you don’t have a good song or a hit track, no body will pay attention to you no matter how you’ve branded yourself both in social media or merchandise.
Pretty much, in order to get signed, you need to already have all the things that you would want a record label to do for you. I thought the point was that 'I just want to do the music, the record label can handle promotion, marketing, etc'. But I guess not
This is the commercial world...the underground scene is more adout the music, of course that means generally less money, so u wont have as much money but u can still do well....a 3 bedroom house a car...but no 6 bedroom house with swimming pool and 3 fast cars in the drive way...but that's ok I think, at least u r doing what u want. My two cents worth.
Well, there are a lot diy bands and artists out there that make and manage their merchandise, shirts, buttons, patches, etc. etc. sell there music, and fund there own touring and setup all their gear themselves, its a lot of work but ive know abd have seen many musicians become successful without sponsorship or mainstream media, getting paid gigs is when it all starts, you save, manage, go from there, if you are first starting out, you will play a lot of free shows, its exposure and if you're "that" good, you will get those paid gigs, you dont get signed over night unless you are rich, live in hollywood and got a cousin or friend in the biz, so work really hard or know somebody, pretty much, those two are your best options.
That doesn’t happen lmao. An artist cannot be successful without the resources a label can give. You couldn’t be able to create a stadium/arena tour without a label, because the label provides the money for the stage design, costumes for the artist (depending on the artist) and backup dancers, props, vocalists and live band, lighting and sound systems, video backdrops or interludes, all the things that make a tour successful. Lady Gaga (using her since she is a favorite artist of mine) didn’t get famous overnight. She had to play small clubs before she finally got signed to Def Jam, only for them to drop her before she even released Just Dance under her current label, Interscope, in 2007. She has her fanbase but she wouldn’t be successful without the promotion and resources from her label. This applies for everyone, too.
Subscribed !! I’m a artist pushing empowering music .. and this just gave me so many ideas. I’m about to watch more videos take notes and continue pushing! Thank you 🙏🏾
This is super inspiring and an amazing resource for artists. We really live in a special time where we all have so many resources to distribute our work freely.
Just found Burstimo. Wanted to say thank you. Really helpful content. Inspiring me to actually take a shot at promoting the best female singer/songwriter that I've heard since Joni. (and I went to high school in the 70's) (and I love Joni) (and, even though it's been over three years since this video was posted . . . I, ahem, don't even like coffee!)
I almost had a record deal until a lawyer (a friend of mine) checked the contract. The record company was so mad because of that that the deal was off. Imagine: your song has been listened to a 250.000 times on Spotify = €1000. Means 800 for the label and 200 for you..... Hire someone who is good with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and you are saving lots of money:o)
@@krazypotatofiend6933 yes, an amazing contract....now I release my music via Tunecore on all the digital platforms. I promote a lot via Facebook and starting to make a little money.
@@speeluh 20% Is amazing especially for a smaller artist, most of the money the label takes from you just goes back into investing in you and allowing you to get more money. You have to be smart with the contacts and negotiate it, simply declining it is a horrible idea.
Independent artist dont generate enough fans to make music a full time Job. So a Major label is damn near a Must Have if you don't have a liquid 5 digit budget
Subi don’t try to compare yourself to other artists. Jus because they’re doin it doesn’t mean you’ll get it. It takes time and talent to achieve the things that u want
DEEZY DA PAPERBOY There’s thousands of artists that make a big living off of fans alone with no record label. I could give you a list but it would be too long. The short story is you don’t need a label. Don’t buy into the myth that you need a label. Maybe in the past that was true, but the internet changed it all.
After being in business for 10 years in business as a music lesson studio, I've started a label to work with regional artists. Starting with setting up collaborative productions, I offer record production, mixing, cooperative digital distribution, promotions through my channels and my local music fanzine. I require associate artists to also perform collaborative tasks that improve the overall artist roster. It is a collaboration/team effort oriented label. I also have 30 years of live mixing and recording experience and 2 years of Ad agency experience. The issue I currently have and is expected that these young artists have a trust issue, they do not know me as my previous sound and recording clients did. I also work a full time job. and yes I am crazy for taking on more tasks but I am not looking to conquer the world, I am looking to help local talent reach their music career goals.
He explained this in the beginning. A label can get you major opportunities that are next to impossible to reach as an independent artist. I’m not saying selling out an arena tour as an indie artist is impossible but it certainly is a SHIT ton hard than if you were signed to a major record label
@@Galaxy-td8uz you must not know the function of a label. 1 is money and 2 marketing and 3 publishing via radio stations. Other than that they are totally useless. Labels have nothing to do with tours. Thats a management feature and labels dont manage artist. In any case, thats why more and more artist today use youtube ig and social media to cut out the necessity of signing to a label if they can self promote and build their own fan base. By the way, labels dont promote touring venues nor invest in them
As an African singer who tours to different continents, I had to start my own docementary series to help combat the global misconceptions which are affecting our progress in the music industry... ruclips.net/video/fFcXyCxQrIY/видео.html
I wish the major labels would sign more artists like The SoapGirls, Sparks, Amanda Palmer, TISM, and Daniel Johnston and give them 100% creative freedom.
Exactly what I said so basically this guy is saying u already have to be established as an artist with a good enough fanbase to be signed before they consider signing I thought the whole point of a label is to help u become established as an artist with promotion for ur music so your fanbase can grow. The whole point of being to a label is to give u a platform to showcase what u can do and get ur music out there more (mostly the music part).
I wish there was a channel like this for aspiring RUclipsrs and video creators rather than just musicians, I’m not even a musician but I still watch these 😂
Another thing is don’t forget to read your contract from top to bottom .. there’s too many artists out here signing contracts without looking over them with a professional attorney . Because once you sign that contract you belong to that label till that contract is up and then you wonder why they get you screwed over 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
They sign you when all the market work is done :) And ones you sign they want the control... My advice is, never let anyone outside your project take control over it. That is, if you are in it for the music. Thank you this video though, it was a lot of fun to watch. When the A&R people and other music industry people start to show you a lot of interest, then just look at it as a sign of everything is just perfect and say; Thank you but we´ll wait... then keep up the good work and enjoy the ride.
As someone who has been in the biz for 30 years rule one get your own music lawyer but ONLY do that if there is an offer from a label then have them get as much money as you can at the signing because most of the time that will be it! Unless your album sells millions of copy's but that is not happening to anyone any more even the well known artist.
Track 1: I Don’t Even Like Coffee (intro) Track 2: Hate Me (Barista) Blue October Cover Song Track 3: A&R’s Followers (Twitter Scene) Track 4: Sold Out (Jam Packed Shows) Track 5: Got it in the palm of our hands Track 6: Brand New Kicks Track 7: New Music Friday’s (weekly podcast) Track 8: Linked In (w/DJ Billy Gates & Company) Track 9: Following (outro)
I’m in a dilemma where I can’t decide if I should sign to this label it’s not a major one but I feel that it might help get my music career on track. The problem I have right now is the expenses of the song releases, video shoots, etc and as an independent artist I don’t think I’d be able to do all of that but i don’t want no control over my music too and myself as an artist. Help please 😂
The KLF got their first number one by taking out a bank loan, no label, did everything themselves, a huge risk but it paid off, they went on to be the biggest selling singles act in the world in 1991
Not sure I fully agreed with all the tips, but the one I liked the most was number 5...."Branding." I think artists don't consider this strongly enough when trying to build a name and get noticed. I definitely felt all the information fit for a band trying to get a major label. The Hack is a great idea for so many different projects and thx you for that. Once again, going away from this video with plenty to think about and absorb. You're definitely ahead of the curve. Thx Adrian Keats
This content is always great! I have a question now: at 2:16 you say 'you DON'T get any access to any special resources' but then at 2:30 you say 'the access to the resources you get'. So could you clarify which one it is? Thanks!
Might be wrong he might be saying at first that the resources you have like Spotify or iTunes for example isn’t something that is new to you in terms of resource,But with the record label,they have money or bigger distribution (or the millions of dollars as your loan due to them trying to invest in you as an artist to them).
As a Artist i ain’t gone lie had to watch this 6 times😂😂, cause that beat was fire 🔥 send me that beat I’m tryna get on that Bro , cause i don’t like Coffe 🤷🏽♂️😂😂
Dont sign to the devil (label) labels are why lil uzi cant drop music and artist who sign to labels are broje the label takes it all at least most do they get the artist promotions
I think artists can almost make more by touring, streaming services, and then bring the attention of record labels. The internet, streaming services killed good record deals. (unless you're a pop star or super dope raper, I think it's tough.)
It's still money that emerging artists can get! In the past, artists couldn't get there music produced and distributed because it was just so expensive. Now any artists can do it from there bedroom and generate money. Pretty amazing stuff!
@@Gcrimiel1 Advance payments are nothing more than a debt trap. As a newcomer u should establish your self as an artist, sell some CDs, play a tour with 500+ people, build other businesses and than talk to a major when u reached the maximum. Then they will pay u instead +- 0.50$/cd atleast +- 2$/cd, which is as a major artist good but still worse than staying independent (3-5$/cd)
Keller Graf Exactly, I never said it wasn’t a trap. I said If you dont know what the fuck your doing its a trap. You obviously know the business. No newcomer should sign with a label unless they have leverage(big following,money etc.)

without looking over them with a professional attorney . Because once you sign that contract you belong to that label till that contract is up and then you wonder why they get you screwed over 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
They sign you when all the market work is done :) And ones you sign they want the control... My advice is, never let anyone outside your project take control over it. That is, if you are in it for the music. Thank you this video though, it was a lot of fun to watch. When the A&R people and other music industry people start to show you a lot of interest, then just look at it as a sign of everything is just perfect and say; Thank you but we´ll wait... then keep up the good work and enjoy the ride.
I don't even like coffee. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A GODSEND
As someone who has been in the biz for 30 years rule one get your own music lawyer but ONLY do that if there is an offer from a label then have them get as much money as you can at the signing because most of the time that will be it! Unless your album sells millions of copy's but that is not happening to anyone any more even the well known artist.

You guys are great. Thank you so much 🔥💜👑
Everyone who didnt make it till the end missed out on some great advice. Thanks
I’m in a dilemma where I can’t decide if I should sign to this label it’s not a major one but I feel that it might help get my music career on track. The problem I have right now is the expenses of the song releases, video shoots, etc and as an independent artist I don’t think I’d be able to do all of that but i don’t want no control over my music too and myself as an artist. Help please 😂
literally same
@@foreignluvr check what the deal would be first. If it’s short term it might be worth it if they’re offering good promotion.

The KLF got their first number one by taking out a bank loan, no label, did everything themselves, a huge risk but it paid off, they went on to be the biggest selling singles act in the world in 1991
Great video, Thanks!!
You're welcome!
I only know one label:
CSP Music Group🤗
And that's where I'm going for
I dont even like coffee but I love this video and thank you for making this video. There's alot of great advice. And love that hack. I'm try it.
Wow this is very detailed.
Thank you.
I don't even like being told what to do 😂
I don’t even like coffee yet I go to Starbucks every morning
Life on mars, that’s what we have to look forward to
🤣🤣🤣🤣
huge helpful ! This video opened the minds of many musicians！ thanks Burstimo!
Not sure I fully agreed with all the tips, but the one I liked the most was number 5...."Branding." I think artists don't consider this strongly enough when trying to build a name and get noticed. I definitely felt all the information fit for a band trying to get a major label. The Hack is a great idea for so many different projects and thx you for that. Once again, going away from this video with plenty to think about and absorb. You're definitely ahead of the curve. Thx Adrian Keats
That's so weird you should mention lilies! They're my favourite flower of all time!
Wish college taught me this
This content is always great! I have a question now: at 2:16 you say 'you DON'T get any access to any special resources' but then at 2:30 you say 'the access to the resources you get'. So could you clarify which one it is? Thanks!
Might be wrong he might be saying at first that the resources you have like Spotify or iTunes for example isn’t something that is new to you in terms of resource,But with the record label,they have money or bigger distribution (or the millions of dollars as your loan due to them trying to invest in you as an artist to them).
So much good information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
this got me signed to interscope, UMG, atlantic records, 100 entertainment and internet money. thanks!
turkey tastes better when stuff it with citrus fruit.

I DONT EVEN LIKE COFFEE😂😂

Thanks for the insight!🔥🔥
I dont even like coffee...
But i do...
Yet for you...
I don't even like coffee.
Ayyyy!
Nice profile picture 😎
Dont sign to the devil (label) labels are why lil uzi cant drop music and artist who sign to labels are broje the label takes it all at least most do they get the artist promotions
I would suggest you to watch the RUclips video about scantraxx records
m.ruclips.net/video/53SLRNjz3EU/видео.html
THIS IS WHY❤️
Onb
but who sad. that uzi would be rich and famos without label
I don't usually comment but this is all great info. I don't like coffee 😷
that coffee tasted like a mojito! Thnx guys!
the best advice would be: focus on making a good music!
I think artists can almost make more by touring, streaming services, and then bring the attention of record labels. The internet, streaming services killed good record deals. (unless you're a pop star or super dope raper, I think it's tough.)
It's still money that emerging artists can get!
In the past, artists couldn't get there music produced and distributed because it was just so expensive. Now any artists can do it from there bedroom and generate money.
Pretty amazing stuff!
But having a whole ass team with 1000 people would increase your odds compared to doing everything your self.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE COFFEE!!!
If you know you know. ;)
2020 VIZION ONE ☝️
Thank you for your knowledge and support
You pulled me straight out my comfort zone damn 🤦🏾♂️
“I don’t even like coffee “
And then again, once you're signed to most of the major labels, you'll be nothing as their slave.
Vesty Steiner not true, it all depends on how good of a businessman you are and if you know the industry works🤷🏽♂️.
@@Gcrimiel1 fuck labels they ruin everything
@@Gcrimiel1 Advance payments are nothing more than a debt trap.
As a newcomer u should establish your self as an artist, sell some CDs, play a tour with 500+ people, build other businesses and than talk to a major when u reached the maximum.
Then they will pay u instead +- 0.50$/cd atleast +- 2$/cd, which is as a major artist good but still worse than staying independent (3-5$/cd)
Keller Graf Exactly, I never said it wasn’t a trap. I said If you dont know what the fuck your doing its a trap. You obviously know the business. No newcomer should sign with a label unless they have leverage(big following,money etc.)
If you think money is happiness you will never be happy.
Iam trynna get signed big dream 🗣 I ain’t got much but imma still grind it out I don’t even gotta studio I use my phone an free apps 😭
What apps do you use
Great advice bro! Keep up the good work.
Burstimo, I DON'T EVEN LIKE COFFEE, but I manage an artist who you will get excited about! No joke!
